The mission continues for David Guion

The Girondins de Bordeaux are very pleased to announce that David Guion has signed a contract extension. The manager will lead us into the 2023-2024 campaign, with a one-year extension triggered automatically if we win promotion to Ligue 1. Born in 1967 in Le Mans, David Guion started his professional playing career at Lille in 1988. As a player, he had spells with Angers, Sedan, Mulhouse and Istres, as well as a stint with Red Star.

He started his coaching career at Saint-Etienne, before taking the helm at Chambéry and Cannes. After a spell with Boulogne-sur-Mer, David became Academy director at Stade de Reims. After taking over as caretaker in 2015-2016, he became Reims' first-team coach on a full-time basis in 2017-2018. His appointment was an immediate success, with David leading the club to the Ligue 2 title and promotion to the top flight. He left Reims in 2021.

David Guion arrived in Bordeaux during the 2021-2022 season. Over the past year he has proved his ability to get the best out of the squad, bringing through many young players from the youth set-up into the first team. The Girondins de Bordeaux are delighted that David has decided to stay with us. He is a skilled manager with a great understanding of the club, our players and our Academy. Stability will be the key to future success, as the whole of his coaching staff have signed contract extensions on the same basis. We wish David and his team every success in the coming season, and we very much hope to see the team competing at the top again, with that promotion objective firmly in mind.
